The Plan

[ShortBus]

Okay, so I'm looking to simplify, reduce my monthlies, AND to pursue a more car-centric life. So, here's the plan:

Step 1: Sell the Miata.

Step 2: Trade the Legacy for something*:

A) Older
B) Cheaper
C) Just as comfy
D) Just as fast/faster

Step 3: Buy wheels and R-Compound tires for said car so I can autocross next season. This car will be my commuter AND my race car.

Step 4: Save some money and work on my house. Gotta happen.

Step 5: Upon reaching a pre-determined personal goal, such as:

A) Completed living room/dining room
B) Tiled kitchen floor
C) Replaced bathtub
D) Etc.

Buy another car. Something classic, and in decent-but-not-carshow shape. An old galaxie or cornet or something.

Step 6: Do stuff with the car, such as:

A) Drive it
B) Fix it
C) Drive it some more
D) Get it good and shiny
E) Try to sell it for more than I've put into it. Longshot, but what the hell, right?

Step 7: GoTo Step 4, repeat until I Get really good at this classic-flipping thing and make a lot of money, then:

A) Build a hot rod and try step 6 with that
B) Buy a Westfield kit and try step 6 with that
C) Enact the more complex plan of moving to a patch of land with a decent garage and start over from step 4.

*Here are my thoughts so far:

A) 97-98 BMW M3
B) 00-01 Audi S4
C) 03ish WRX

So, is this totally crazy, or workable? Any other thoughts on cars?

I had the same plan but I was looking at the BMW 2002tii, something a little more old school than what you are looking into.
